Job description
from Microsoft careersCome join Microsoft Office AI team to work on state-of-the-art services, AI solutions, platforms, distributed systems, and modern technology to deliver the next generation of intelligent productivity experiences used by hundreds of millions of users daily! We are looking for ML Engineer who can help us further grow our products, business, and culture!
As ML Engineer in the Office AI team, you will help lead the evolution of Office productivity through AI-driven experiences (such as Microsoft Copilot) across key applications. The team builds the core platforms and experiences that bring large language models (LLMs) and real-time intelligence into Office applications, combining the power of LLMs with enterprise data and native integration to streamline content creation, navigation and comprehension.
We are looking for a creative ML Engineer who will collaborate with software engineers, researchers, and product managers to express product needs as well-defined machine learning problems, push the state of the art in LLMs and bring prototypes all the way to planet scale production. You’ll build the engineering that makes AI work in production: you will build APIs, platforms and services around AI features; design data pipelines and feedback loops; deploy and finetune state of the art deep learning models; orchestrate prompts and tools; and monitor AI specific signals - such as drift, hallucinations, safety and cost - alongside traditional service reliability metrics.
Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.
